The Draper Street residents were involved in the master planning of The Well as a productive, collaborative entity.

They could have caused a lot of problems as a heritage Neighbourhoods strip right beside the development. Instead they collaborated and shaped the proposal in a way that was mutually acceptable.

They really did endure almost a decade of construction hell right next door.

One of the Section 37 deliverables was a new streetscape for Draper Street once the project was completed. Another promise was that their existing street parking wouldn't be taken away.

Both fair and being honoured.

Living near a condo project isn't necessarily "hell", but you do see a lot more truck traffic and dust. That's assuming the builder is following municipal regulations for construction work, which many do.

True, but at The Well the excavation went to P7 depth, was >7 acres large, and shoring went right to the backyard lot lines of the east side of Draper Street so it was well and truly adjacent. The volumes of dust, mud, exhaust, and noise were truly exceptional and of long duration. Not a typical project.

I don’t know what you’re talking about, @Kenojuak, all this looks entirely normal…

I wonder where Muji is going?! The people who insisted that this would be a failure have been very quiet!

Finally dropped in last Friday after a couple of years, specifically to have La Cubana' s guava BBQ beef short rib Medianoche (avec red cabbage slaw, chimichurri, crispy onions etc.)... it did not disappoint.

Got to say Wellington Street was looking just fantastic - abuzz with folks (a few without their noses in their phones), doggies, diners in cafes, everything blooming.

Easily my favourite block in the city.

Love the Wellington promenade, and its liveliness this project has brought. Can't wait for King Toronto to add to it and also the connecting boulevard like section between the two parks

Muji is a big surprise, although makes total sense considering the demographic

Looks nice!

...Alright Toronto Hydro, you're up. The street is ready to get hacked up and decimated now.

That raised pedestrian crossing looks great, but man, the plows are going to eat that thing up.

Beautiful hand-laid brick street you have there. Would be a shame if something... happened to it
